Website Migration

A: When your present hosting provider can no longer meet the necessities of your site, or if you face continual network downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the help desk support staff to respond to you, it may be a good idea to swap your provider, i.e. to move all the files for your web sites along with your databases from your current provider to your new provider. At Starfire Solutions Consulting, we know that this can often be difficult and time–consuming. That is the reason why we’ll do all that for you for free!Our skilled technical staff reps will migrate your web site content from your present hosting provider to us. Our techs have a lot of experience migrating websites and are able to take care of everything – from a conventional WordPress–driven weblog or Joomla^™ web site, to an extremely complex, custom–built web application.

A: There are a lot of aspects to take into consideration – the total amount of web files, the size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the present workload of our web site migration experts, etc. That said, we do try to implement all web site migrations within a 48–hour window. Less sizeable web sites are transferred much faster – typically within 24 hours.

A: Yep. We’ll require the name of the site that you’d like us to migrate. We will also require a means to access your current web hosting account so that we can get the files pertaining to your site.

A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the agreement that we will have with you as a client. We are focused on safeguarding the safety of the personal information collected from the customers. To do this, we employ technical safety measures in order to prevent the loss, the misappropriation, the modification or the unauthorized disclosure of the private details under our control. The measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the details that we collect online. When we request users to submit financial information (such as a debit card number), this info is secured using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technique.

A: While we move your website, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your former web hosting provider. As soon as the transfer is over, we’ll make sure that everything is functioning correctly and that the integrity of your content is not compromised prior to notifying you that the migration is finished. After that, we’ll explain to you how to transfer the domain to your web hosting account with us and how to change the DNS resource records.

A: No. We’ll never touch base with your web hosting provider about anything at all. They won’t be aware of the website migration either.

A: We can transfer your web site from any hosting provider or any Linux–powered hosting platform provided that we can gain access to the Control Panel and there is FTP access available.The only websites that we can’t migrate are the ones based on closed–source software applications such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
